Moq.EntityFrameworkCore

This library helps you mocking EntityFramework contexts. Now you will be able to test methods that are using DbSet<TEntity> or DbQuery<TEntity> from DbContext in an effective way.

Installation - NuGet Packages

Install-Package Moq.EntityFrameworkCore

Usage

For example we can assume that we have the following production code:

public class UsersContext : DbContext
{
    public virtual DbSet<User> Users { get; set; }
}

To mock Users and Roles you only need to implement the following 3 steps:

1. Create DbContext mock:

var userContextMock = new Mock<UsersContext>();

2. Generate your entities:

IList<User> users = ...;

3. Setup DbSet or DbQuery property:

userContextMock.Setup(x => x.Users).ReturnsDbSet(users);

userContextMock.SetupGet(x => x.Users).ReturnsDbSet(users);

userContextMock.SetupSequence(x => x.Set<User>())
  .ReturnsDbSet(new List<User>())
  .ReturnsDbSet(users);

And this is all. You can use your DbContext in your tests.

The second option is mocking DbSet that is part of the interface:

public interface IBlogContext
{
   DbSet<Post> Posts { get; }
}

And then use:

var posts = new List<Post>();
var contextMock = new Mock<IBlogContext>();
contextMock.Setup(p => p.Posts).ReturnsDbSet(posts);

Using ReturnsDbSetWithGlobalFilter

You can also use ReturnsDbSetWithGlobalFilter to set up a DbSet with a global filter. For example:

var users = new List<User> { new User { IsActive = true }, new User { IsActive = false } };
var userContextMock = new Mock<UsersContext>();
userContextMock.Setup(x => x.Users).ReturnsDbSetWithGlobalFilter(users, u => u.IsActive);

New Usage Option: ReturnsDbSetDynamic

You can now use the ReturnsDbSetDynamic method for scenarios where you need lazy evaluation of your DbSet. This ensures that the DbSet is re-evaluated dynamically at runtime.

userContextMock.Setup(x => x.Users).ReturnsDbSetDynamic(users);

Explanation of Differences

ReturnsDbSet: Statically resolves the DbSet value during setup.
ReturnsDbSetDynamic: Dynamically resolves the DbSet value using a lambda, ensuring it reflects changes at runtime.

You will find examples of this library in the repository.
